BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to novel inhibitors of serine/threonine protein kinases (e.g., AKT and related kinases), pharmaceutical compositions containing the inhibitors, and methods for preparing these inhibitors. The inhibitors are useful, for example, for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancer and inflammation, in mammals.

2. Description of the State of the Art

Protein kinases (PK) are enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of hydroxy groups on tyrosine, serine and threonine residues of proteins by transfer of the terminal (gamma) phosphate from ATP. Through signal transduction pathways, these enzymes modulate cell growth, differentiation and proliferation, i.e., virtually all aspects of cell life in one way or another depend on PK activity (Hardie, G. and Hanks, S. (1995) The Protein Kinase Facts Book. I and II, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.). Furthermore, abnormal PK activity has been related to a host of disorders, ranging from relatively non-life threatening diseases such as psoriasis to extremely virulent diseases such as glioblastoma (brain cancer). Protein kinases are an important target class for therapeutic modulation (Cohen, P. (2002) Nature Rev. Drug Discovery 1:309).

Significantly, atypical protein phosphorylation and/or expression is often reported to be one of the causative effects of abnormal cellular proliferation, metastasis and cell survival in cancer. The abnormal regulation and/or expression of various kinases, including Akt, VEGF, ILK, ROCK, p70S6K, Bcl, PKA, PKC, Raf, Src, PDK1, ErbB2, MEK, IKK, Cdk, EGFR, BAD, CHK1, CHK2 and GSK3 amongst numerous others, has been specifically implicated in cancer.

Protein kinases include two classes; protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) and serine-threonine kinases (STK). The Protein Kinase B/Akt enzymes are a group of serine/threonine kinases that are overexpressed in a variety of human tumors. One of the best-characterized targets of the PI3K lipid products is the 57 KD serine/threonine protein kinase Akt, downstream of PI3K in the signal transduction pathway (Hemmings, B. A. (1997) Science 275:628; Hay N. (2005) Cancer Cell 8:179-183). Akt is the human homologue of the protooncogene v-akt of the acutely transforming retrovirus AKT8. Due to its high sequence homology to protein kinases A and C, Akt is also called Protein Kinase B (PKB) and Related to A and C (RAC). Three isoforms of Akt are known to exist, namely Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3, which exhibit an overall homology of 80% (Staal, S. P. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 84:5034; Nakatani, K. (1999) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 257:906; Li et al (2002) Current Topics in Med. Chem. 2:939-971; WO 2005/113762). The Akt isoforms share a common domain organization that consists of a pleckstrin homology domain at the N-terminus, a kinase catalytic domain, and a short regulatory region at the C-terminus. In addition, both Akt2 and Akt3 exhibit splice variants. Upon recruitment to the cell membrane by PtdInd(3,4,5)P₃, Akt is phosphorylated (activated) by PDK1 at T308, T309 and T305 for isoforms Akt1 (PKBα), Akt2 (PKBβ) and Akt3 (PKBγ), respectively, and at 5473, S474 and S472 for isoforms Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3, respectively. Such phosphorylation occurs by an as yet unknown kinase (putatively named PDK2), although PDK1 (Balendran, A., (1999) Curr. Biol. 9:393), autophosphorylation (Toker, A. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275:8271) and integrin-linked kinase (ILK) (Delcommenne, M. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95:11211) have been implicated in this process. Akt activation requires its phosphorylation on residue Ser 473 in the C-terminal hydrophobic motif (Brodbeck et al (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274:9133-9136; Coffer et al (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 201:475-481; Alessi et al (1997) Curr. Biol. 7:261-269). Although monophosphorylation of Akt activates the kinase, bis(phosphorylation) is required for maximal kinase activity.

Akt is believed to assert its effect on cancer by suppressing apoptosis and enhancing both angiogenesis and proliferation (Toker et al. (2006) Cancer Res. 66(8):3963-3966). Akt is overexpressed in many forms of human cancer including, but not limited to, colon (Zinda et al (2001) Clin. Cancer Res. 7:2475), ovarian (Cheng et al (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:9267), brain (Haas Kogan et al (1998) Curr. Biol. 8:1195), lung (Brognard et al (2001) Cancer Res. 61:3986), pancreatic (Bellacosa et al (1995) Int. J. Cancer 64:280-285; Cheng et al (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 93:3636-3641), prostate (Graff et al (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275:24500) and gastric carcinomas (Staal et al (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:5034-5037).

The PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been explored for targeted small molecule inhibitor therapy (Georgakis, G. and Younes, A. (2006) Expert Rev. Anticancer Ther. 6(1):131-140; Granville et al (2006) Clin. Cancer Res. 12(3):679-689). Inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth of tumor cells that have elevated Akt levels (Kim et al (2005) Current Opinion in Investig. Drugs 6(12):1250-1258; Luo et al (2005) Molecular Cancer Ther. 4(6):977-986).

The development of kinase inhibitors that target abnormally regulated pathways and ultimately result in disease is of enormous ethical and commercial interest to the medical and pharmaceutical community. A compound that inhibits (1) recruitment of Akt to the cell membrane, (2) activation by PDK1 or PDK2, (3) substrate phosphorylation, or (4) one of the downstream targets of Akt could be a valuable anticancer agent, either as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other accepted procedures.

United States Patent Application Publication 2005/0130954 discloses inter alia, a variety of compounds that act as AKT inhibitors. The compounds are said to be useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer.

It is to be understood that in instances where two or more radicals are used in succession to define a substituent attached to a structure, the first named radical is considered to be terminal and the last named radical is considered to be attached to the structure in question. Thus, for example, an arylalkyl radical is attached to the structure in question by the alkyl group.

AKT Inhibitors

The inventive compounds of Formula I are useful for inhibiting AKT protein kinases. Such compounds have utility as therapeutic agents for diseases that can be treated by the inhibition of the AKT protein kinase signaling pathway and tyrosine and serine/threonine kinase receptor pathways.

In particular, certain compounds of Formula I wherein OR² is OH were found to be at least 50-fold more selective for AKT versus protein kinase A (PKA). For example, at least 100-fold, and as a further example, at least 150-fold more selective for AKT versus PKA. Selectivity over PKA is desirable, since PKA is involved in many cellular processes important for the normal function and physiology of many cell types. Additionally, inhibition of PKA is not believed to contribute to the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of AKT inhibition. Thus, inhibition of PKA could lead to adverse events not associated with AKT inhibition without contributing to the disease modifying benefits of AKT inhibition.

The compounds of Formula I may also be useful as inhibitors of tyrosine kinases as well as serine and threonine kinases in addition to AKT.

The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and diastereomers, and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. Accordingly, this invention also includes all such isomers, including diastereomeric mixtures, pure diastereomers and pure enantiomers of the compounds of this invention. The term “enantiomer” refers to two stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable mirror images of one another. The term “diastereomer” refers to a pair of optical isomers which are not mirror images of one another. Diastereomers have different physical properties, e.g. melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and reactivities.

The compounds of the present invention may also exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the invention. The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons.

In the structures shown herein, where the stereochemistry of any particular chiral atom is not specified, then all stereoisomers are contemplated and included as the compounds of the invention. Where stereochemistry is specified by a solid wedge or dashed line representing a particular configuration, then that stereoisomer is so specified and defined.

The compounds of Formula I include solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs and salts (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts) of such compounds.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” indicates that the substance or composition is compatible chemically and/or toxicologically with the other ingredients comprising a formulation, and/or the mammal being treated therewith.

A “solvate” refers to an association or complex of one or more solvent molecules and a compound of the invention. Examples of solvents that form solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, DMSO, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine. The term “hydrate” can also be used to refer to a complex wherein the solvent molecule is water.

A “prodrug” is a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to the specified compound or to a salt of such compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues, is covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy or carboxylic acid group of a compound of the present invention. The amino acid residues include but are not limited to the 20 naturally occurring amino acids commonly designated by three letter symbols and also includes phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, phosphotyrosine, 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, gamma-carboxyglutamate, hippuric acid, octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid, statine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, penicillamine, ornithine, 3-methylhistidine, norvaline, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, cirtulline, homocysteine, homoserine, methyl-alanine, para-benzoylphenylalanine, phenylglycine, propargylglycine, sarcosine, methionine sulfone and tert-butylglycine.

Additional types of prodrugs are also encompassed. For instance, a free carboxyl group of a compound of Formula I can be derivatized as an amide or alkyl ester. As another example, compounds of this invention comprising free hydroxy groups may be derivatized as prodrugs by converting the hydroxy group into a group such as, but not limited to, a phosphate ester, hemisuccinate, dimethylaminoacetate, or phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyl group, as outlined in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 1996, 19, 115. Carbamate prodrugs of hydroxy and amino groups are also included, as are carbonate prodrugs, sulfonate esters and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers, wherein the acyl group may be an alkyl ester optionally substituted with groups including, but not limited to, ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, are also encompassed. Prodrugs of this type are described in J. Med. Chem., 1996, 39, 10. More specific examples include replacement of the hydrogen atom of the alcohol group with a group such as (C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxymethyl, 1-((C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1-methyl-1-((C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, (C₁-C₆)alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, N—(C₁-C₆)alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl, succinoyl, (C₁-C₆)alkanoyl, α-amino(C₁-C₄)alkanoyl, arylacyl and α-aminoacyl, or α-aminoacyl-α-aminoacyl, where each α-aminoacyl group is independently selected from the naturally occurring L-amino acids, P(O)(OH)₂, —P(O)(O(C₁-C₆)alkyl)₂ or glycosyl (the radical resulting from the removal of a hydroxyl group of the hemiacetal form of a carbohydrate).

Free amines of compounds of Formula I can also be derivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. All of these moieties may incorporate groups including, but not limited to, ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities. For example, a prodrug can be formed by the replacement of a hydrogen atom in the amine group with a group such as R-carbonyl, RO-carbonyl, NRR′-carbonyl, wherein R and R′ are each independently (C₁-C₁₀)alkyl, (C₃-C₇)cycloalkyl, or benzyl, or R-carbonyl is a natural α-aminoacyl or natural α-aminoacyl-natural α-aminoacyl, —C(OH)C(O)OY wherein Y is H, (C₁-C₆)alkyl or benzyl, —C(OY₀)Y₁ wherein Y₀ is (C₁-C₄) alkyl and Y₁ is (C₁-C₆)alkyl, carboxy(C₁-C₆)alkyl, amino(C₁-C₄)alkyl or mono-N— or di-N,N—(C₁-C₆)alkylaminoalkyl, or —C(Y₂)Y₃ wherein Y₂ is H or methyl and Y₃ is mono-N— or di-N,N—(C₁-C₆)alkylamino, morpholino, piperidin-1-yl or pyrrolidin-1-yl.

Alternatively or additionally, compound of the invention may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, or both functional groups, and accordingly react with any of a number of inorganic or organic bases or acids to form a salt. Examples of salts include those salts prepared by reaction of the compounds of the present invention with a mineral or organic acid or an inorganic base, such salts including, but not limited to, sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrogenphosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyn-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycollates, tartrates, methanesulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates. Since a single compound of the present invention may include more than one acidic or basic moiety, the compounds of the present invention may include mono, di or tri-salts in a single compound.

If the inventive compound is a base, the desired salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, by treatment of the free base with an acidic compound, for example an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a pyranosidyl acid such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.

If the inventive compound is an acid, the desired salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, by treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base. Examples of suitable inorganic salts include those formed with alkali and alkaline earth metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, barium and calcium. Examples of suitable organic base salts include, for example, ammonium, dibenzylammonium, benzylammonium, 2-hydroxyethylammonium, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium, phenylethylbenzylamine, dibenzylethylenediamine, and the like salts. Other salts of acidic moieties may include, for example, those salts formed with procaine, quinine and N-methylglucosamine, plus salts formed with basic amino acids such as glycine, ornithine, histidine, phenylglycine, lysine and arginine.

In certain embodiments, the salt is a “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” which, unless otherwise indicated, includes salts that retain the biological effectiveness of the corresponding free acid or base of the specified compound and are not biologically or otherwise undesirable.

The compounds of Formula I also include other salts of such compounds which are not necessarily pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and which may be useful as intermediates for preparing and/or purifying compounds of Formula I and/or for separating enantiomers of compounds of Formula I.

The present invention also embraces isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. All isotopes of any particular atom or element as specified are contemplated within the scope of the compounds of the invention, and their uses. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³²P, ³³P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I and ¹²⁵I. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention (e.g., those labeled with ³H and ¹⁴C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., ³H) and carbon-14 (i.e., ¹⁴C) isotopes are useful for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Positron emitting isotopes such as ¹⁵O, ¹³N, ¹¹C and ¹⁸F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples herein below, by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

Metabolites of Compounds of Formula I

Also falling within the scope of this invention are the in vivo metabolic products of compounds of Formula I described herein. A “metabolite” is a pharmacologically active product produced through metabolism in the body of a specified compound or salt thereof. Such products may result, for example, from the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, deesterification, enzymatic cleavage, and the like, of the administered compound. Accordingly, the invention includes metabolites of compounds of Formula I, including compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound of this invention with a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof.

Metabolites are identified, for example, by preparing a radiolabelled (e.g., ¹⁴C or ³H) isotope of a compound of the invention, administering it parenterally in a detectable dose (e.g., greater than about 0.5 mg/kg) to an animal such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to a human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur (typically about 30 seconds to 30 hours) and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples. These products are easily isolated since they are labeled (others are isolated by the use of antibodies capable of binding epitopes surviving in the metabolite). The metabolite structures are determined in conventional fashion, e.g., by MS, LC/MS or NMR analysis. In general, analysis of metabolites is done in the same way as conventional drug metabolism studies well known to those skilled in the art. The metabolites, so long as they are not otherwise found in vivo, are useful in diagnostic assays for therapeutic dosing of the compounds of the invention.

Synthesis of Compounds of Formula I

Compounds of this invention may be synthesized by synthetic routes that include processes analogous to those well known in the chemical arts, particularly in light of the description contained herein. The starting materials are generally available from commercial sources such as Aldrich Chemicals (Milwaukee, Wis.) or are readily prepared using methods well known to those skilled in the art (e.g., prepared by methods generally described in Louis F. Fieser and Mary Fieser, Reagents for Organic Synthesis, v. 1-19, Wiley, N.Y. (1967-1999 ed.), or Beilsteins Handbuch der organischen Chemie, 4, Aufl. ed. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, including supplements).

Compounds of Formula I may be prepared singly or as compound libraries comprising at least 2, for example 5 to 1,000 compounds, or 10 to 100 compounds. Libraries of compounds of Formula I may be prepared by a combinatorial ‘split and mix’ approach or by multiple parallel syntheses using either solution phase or solid phase chemistry, by procedures known to those skilled in the art. Thus according to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound library comprising at least 2 compounds of Formula I, or salts thereof.

For illustrative purposes, Schemes 1-4 and Schemes A-J shows a general method for preparing the compounds of the present invention as well as key intermediates. For a more detailed description of the individual reaction steps, see the Examples section below. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other synthetic routes may be used to synthesize the inventive compounds. Although specific starting materials and reagents are depicted in the Schemes and discussed below, other starting materials and reagents can be easily substituted to provide a variety of derivatives and/or reaction conditions. In addition, many of the compounds prepared by the methods described below can be further modified in light of this disclosure using conventional chemistry well known to those skilled in the art.

Scheme 1 shows a method of preparing compound 10 of Formula I wherein R¹ is H, R² is OH and R⁵ is H. Formation of pyrimidine 2 can be accomplished by the reaction of the keto ester 1 with thiourea in the presence of a base such as KOH in an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol. After reduction of the mercapto group of compound 2 under standard reducing conditions (e.g., Raney N₁ and NH₄OH) to provide compound 3, the hydroxypyrimidine 3 can be chlorinated under standard conditions (e.g., POCl₃ in DIEA/DCE) to provide compound 4. Compound 4 is then oxidized under standard conditions (e.g., MCPBA in an appropriate solvent such as CHCl₃) to give the pyrimidine-oxide 5. Treatment of the pyrimidine-oxide with acetic anhydride gives the rearrangement product 6. Compound 7 is obtained by reacting compound 6 with an appropriately substituted piperidine under standard S_(N)Ar reaction conditions to provide compound 7. Compound 7 is hydrolyzed to provide compound 8, which is then deprotected to yield the intermediate 9. Acylation of the piperazinyl cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine 9 with an appropriated amino acid in the presence of a coupling reagent such as HBTU, followed by deprotection if necessary, gives compound 10 of Formula I.

Scheme 2 shows a method of preparing compounds 22, 25 and 27 of Formula I wherein R¹, R² and R⁵ are methyl. According to Scheme 2, bromination of (+)-pulegone 11 with bromine gives the dibromide 12. The treatment of the dibromide 12 with a base such as sodium ethoxide provides the pulegenate 13. Ozonolysis of the pulegenate 13 gives the ketoester 14. Treatment of the keto ester 14 with thiourea in the presence of a base such as KOH in ethanol, followed by reduction of the mercapto group under standard conditions (e.g. Raney Ni catalyst in ammonia) affords the hydroxypyrimidine 16. Chlorination of the hydroxypyrimidine 16 under standard conditions (e.g., POCl₃) provides the 4-chloropyrimidine 17. The oxidation of the 4-chloropyrimidine 17 with an oxidizing agent such as MCPBA or hydrogen peroxide provides the N-oxide 18. Rearrangement of the N-oxide 18 with acetic anhydride yields the intermediate 19. Compound 19 is reacted with the desired piperazine according to the procedure described in Scheme 1 to provide compound 20 where R⁵ is H and 23 where R⁵ is Me. Compounds 20 and 23 are subjected to chiral separation using HPLC with chiral stationary and then hydrolyzed upon treatment with a base such as lithium hydroxide to provide compounds 21 and 24, respectively. After deprotection, compounds 21 and 24 are then reacted with the appropriate amino acid to provide compounds 22 and 25, respectively.

Alternatively, the 7-hydroxy group of compound 24 may be alkylated with alkylation reagent such as alkyl halide in the presence of a base such as NaH or KOH to provide compound 26 where R² is Me. After deprotection, compound 26 is then reacted with the appropriate amino acid to provide compound 27.

Scheme 3 shows an alternative method of preparing compounds 73 and 74. According to Scheme 3, amination of 14 using an ammonia synthon gives 63. Pyrimidine formation using, for example, ammonium formate in the presence of formamide at 50° C.-250° C. and/or at high pressure gives the bicyclic unit 64. Activation of 64 using, for example, POCl₃ or SOCl₂ gives the activated pyrimidine 65. Displacement of this leaving group, using a suitable protected/substituted piperidine at 0° C. to 150° C. gives the piperidine 66. Oxidation, using, for example, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (“MCPBA” or “m-CPBA”) or Oxone® at −20° C. to 50° C. gives the N-oxide 67. Treatment with an acylating agent (eg. acetic anhydride) followed by heating (40° C. to 200° C.) causes rearrangement to give 68. Hydrolysis, using, for example LiOH or NaOH at 0° C. to 50° C. gives the alcohol 69. Oxidation, using for example, Swern conditions, MnO₄ or pyridine-SO₃ complex at appropriate temperatures gives the ketone 70. Asymmetric reduction using, for example, a catalytic chiral catalyst in the presence of hydrogen, the CBS catalyst or a borohydride reducing agent in the presence of a chiral ligand gives rise to either the (R) or the (S) stereochemistry at the alcohol 71 or 72. Alternatively, a non-chiral reducing agent could be used (eg. H₂, Pd/C), allowing the methyl group on the cyclopentane unit to provide facial selectivity and ultimately diastereoselectivity. If the reduction gives a lower diastereoselectivity, the diastereomers could be separated by (for example) chromatography, crystallization or derivitization. Finally deprotection of the Boc-group, using, for example, acid at 0° C. to 50° C., acylation using an appropriately functionalized amino acid and final functionalization of the amine of this amino acid (eg. removal of any protecting group, alkylation, reductive amination or acylation to introduce new substituents) gives rise to the final compounds 73 and 74.

Introduction of a chiral auxiliary (e.g. Evans oxazolidinone, etc.) to compound 1 may be accomplished by standard acylation procedures to give the conjugate 2. For example, treatment of the acid with an activating agent (e.g. COCl₂) or mixed anhydride formation (e.g. 2,2-dimethylpropanoyl chloride) in the presence of an amine base at −20° C. to 100° C. followed by treatment with the appropriate chiral auxiliary (X) gives compound 2. The stereochemistry and choice of the chiral auxiliary may determine the stereochemistry of the newly created chiral center and the diastereoselectivity. Treatment of compound 2 with a Lewis acid (eg. TiCl₄) at low temperature (e.g. −20° C. to −100° C.) and an amine base (e.g. Hunig's base) followed by the use of an appropriately substituted imminium ion precursor 3 at low temperature then gives rise to compound 4. The temperature, Lewis acid and chiral auxiliary may all be expected to influence the diastereoselectivity of the addition adduct. Finally, saponification under mild conditions (e.g. LiOH/H₂O at −10° C. to 30° C.) gives rise to the desired acid 5.

According, another aspect of this invention provides a method of preparing a compound of Formula I, comprising:

reacting a compound having the formula:

wherein R¹, R², R⁵ and R¹⁰ are as defined herein, with an amino acid having the formula:

wherein R⁶, R⁷, R^(a), R^(b), R^(c), R^(d), G, m, n and p are as defined herein.

The amino acids used in the synthesis of compounds of Formula I as illustrated in Schemes 1-4 and in the Examples are either commercially available or may be prepared according to the methods disclosed herein. For example, in certain embodiments the amino acids used to prepare compounds of Formula I include β-phenylglycine amino acids having the Formula 1A, γ-phenylglycine amino acids having the Formula 2A, β-phenylalanine amino acids having the Formula 3A, and γ-phenylalanine amino acids having the Formula 4A.

Methods of preparing amino acids of Formulas 1A-4A are shown in Schemes A-J.

Scheme A illustrates a method of preparing optionally substituted β-phenylglycine amino acids 25 and 26 of the Formula 1A wherein R⁸ is H, and R⁶, and R⁹ and are as defined herein, t is 0 to 4, and R⁷ is H or an amine protecting group. According to Scheme A, the acid 20 is converted to an ester 21 wherein R′ is alkyl using standard conditions such as treatment with an appropriate alcohol (e.g. MeOH) in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid such as concentrated H₂SO₄ or a coupling agent such as DCC/DMAP; or alternatively by treatment with an appropriate electrophile (e.g., MeI, EtBr, BnBr) in the presence of a base such as NEt₃/DMAP at an appropriate temperature (e.g., −20° C. to 100° C.). The appropriate choice of ester is determined by the conditions required to reform the acid at the end of the synthesis, with many appropriate examples and conditions being listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 5. Introduction of the hydroxymethyl group to provide compound 22 may be performed by treatment with an appropriate aldehyde (e.g., formaldehyde) in the presence of base such as NaOEt at an appropriate temperature (e.g., −20° C. to room temperature). Activation of the alcohol group of compound 22 to form a leaving group (e.g., a mesylate, tosylate, halide) may be accomplished by treatment with, for example, methanesulphonyl chloride in the presence of excess base such as NEt₃, DIPEA, or DBU at an appropriate temperature (e.g., −20° C. to room temperature). In many cases the olefin 24 can be isolated directly from this procedure, in other cases warming (30° C. to 100° C.) or additional base (e.g. DBU in the case of halide) may be required to complete the elimination to provide compound 24. The activated olefin 24 may be treated with the desired primary amine (e.g., ethylamine) in a suitable solvent, such as THF, at an appropriate temperature (e.g., −20° C. to reflux) to generate the amino ester intermediate. In the case wherein compound 24 has an electron rich aromatic ring or electron poor/bulky primary amine, heating (e.g. 30-240° C. in a sealed tube) or microwave chemistry may be required. Protection of the amine group (for example as Boc-group) may be accomplished using Boc₂O under standard conditions to provide compound 23 wherein Pg is a protecting group. Alternative protecting groups may be used, and many appropriate examples are listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 7. Saponification of the ester 23 to form the protected amino acid 25 may be accomplished using conditions appropriate for the ester (e.g., aqueous LiOH for methyl esters, hydrogenation for benzyl esters, acid for t-butyl esters).

Alternatively, the activated olefin 24 may be treated with a secondary amine (e.g., diethylamine) in a suitable solvent such as THF at an appropriate temperature (e.g., −20° C. to reflux) to generate the aminoester intermediate (not shown). In the case wherein compound 24 has an electron rich aromatic ring or electron poor/bulky secondary amine, heating (e.g., 30-240° C. in a sealed tube) or microwave chemistry may be required. Saponification of the ester to form the amino acid 26 may be accomplished using conditions appropriate for the ester (e.g., aqueous LiOH for methyl esters, hydrogenation for benzyl esters, acid for t-butyl esters, etc.).

In an alternative to Scheme A, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compounds 23 and 25.

Scheme A1 shows an alternative to Scheme 1, wherein the activated olefin 24 is reacted to form the amino acid 26A.

Scheme B shows a method of preparing optionally substituted β-phenylglycine amino acids 30 and 31 of Formula 1A wherein R⁸ is OH, and R⁶, and R⁹ are as defined herein, t is 0 to 4, and R⁷ is as defined herein or an amine protecting group. Oxidation of the unsaturated ester 24 (prepared according to Scheme A), wherein t is 0-4 and R′ is alkyl, using a standard oxidizing agent such as MCPBA at an appropriate temperature (room temperature to reflux) provides the epoxide intermediate 28. Intermediate 28 may be treated with an appropriate amine, typically at high temperature (e.g., 50-300° C.) and high pressure (e.g., in a sealed tube or a bomb) to give the amino alcohol 29 or 30. If a secondary amine is used (such as in the preparation of compound 30), then deprotection of the ester using conditions listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 5 may be used (e.g., LiOH for a methyl ester, hydrogenation for a benzyl ester, etc). When a primary amine is used (such as in the preparation of compound 29), protection of the amine (e.g., as a Boc-group using Boc anhydride) followed by deprotection of the ester (using the above conditions) provide the hydroxylated amino acid 31.

Scheme C shows a method of preparing optionally substituted β-phenylglycine amino acids 36 of the Formula 1A wherein R⁸ is methyl, R⁶ is H, R⁷ is an amine protecting group t is 0 to 4, and R⁹ is as defined herein. The ester 32, wherein R′″ is alkyl, can be treated with a base (e.g. NaOtBu) at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to reflux) to form the anion, followed by addition of an electrophile (e.g., tert-butyl 2-bromoacetate) at an appropriate temperature (e.g, −78° C. to room temperature) to give the homologated ester 33. Saponification of the t-butyl ester of compound 33 using an appropriate acid such as TFA or HCl at an appropriate temperature (e.g, 0° C. to reflux) provides compound 34. A Curtius rearrangement of compound 34 using, for example, DPPA in the presence of mild base such as NEt₃ at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to reflux), followed by treatment of the reactive intermediate with an alcohol (e.g. t-BuOH), optionally in the presence of a Lewis acid (e.g. SnCl₂) at higher temperature (e.g., 40-200° C.) provides compound 35 wherein Pg is an amine protecting group. The choice of alcohol used to prepare compound 35 determines the amine protecting group (e.g. t-BuOH provides the Boc-amine). Deprotection of the ester group of compound 35 using standard conditions (e.g., with LiOH when the protecting group is a methyl ester, hydrogenation for a benzyl ester, etc.) gives the acid compound 36.

In one alternative of Scheme C, R⁸ may be methyl, H or F.

In another alternative of Scheme C, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compounds 35 and 36.

Scheme D shows a method of preparing optionally substituted γ-phenylglycine amino acids 40 of Formula 2A wherein R^(c), R^(d), and R⁹ are as defined herein t is 0 to 4, R⁶ is H, and R⁷ is an amine protecting group such as Boc. The starting unsaturated ester 24, prepared according to Scheme A, can be treated with a substituted nitromethane derivative (e.g. nitroethane) in the presence of a base such as DBU at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to room temperature) to give the homologated adduct 37. The nitro group of compound 37 can be reduced using standard conditions (e.g., hydrogenation, Zn/acid, etc.) at an appropriate temperature (e.g., room temperature to reflux), and the resulting intermediate can be cyclized to give the lactam intermediate 38. Protection of the amine, for example with a Boc-group to provide compound 39, may be accomplished using Boc₂O under standard conditions. Alternative protecting groups may be used, and many appropriate examples are listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 7. Treatment of compound 39 with an aqueous base such as LiOH or KOH at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0 to 100° C.) effects ring opening of the lactam to give the appropriately substituted protected amino acid compound 40.

In one alternative of Scheme D, Boc may be replaced with R⁷ in compounds 39 and 40.

Scheme D1 shows representative methods of forming the single enantiomers of the gamma amino acids 40d and 40e, wherein R^(c), R^(d), and R⁹ are as defined herein, t is 0 to 4, R⁶ is H, and R⁷ is an amine protecting group such as Boc. In one possible method, the racemic amino acid is subject to chiral chromatographic separation using a chiral stationary phase. Alternatively, a diastereomeric mixture may be prepared which could be separated by conventional chromatographic techniques. For example, activation of compound 40 (e.g. COCl₂, base) and introduction of a chiral auxiliary (e.g. an Evans' oxazolidinone) in the presence of a basic amine (e.g. Hunig's base) at −20° C. to 50° C. gives the diastereomeric mixture of compounds 40b and 40c. This mixture may be separated using standard conditions (e.g. column chromatography, HPLC, SFC, etc.) to give the individual diastereomers. These may be converted to the desired acids by cleavage of the chiral auxiliary (in the case of an Evans' auxiliary, by using (for example) LiOH/HOOH at −15° C. to room temperature) to give the compounds 40d and 40e. The temperature may need to be kept low so as to prevent racemisation of the newly separated chiral center.

Scheme E shows a method of making optionally substituted γ-phenylglycine amino acids 44 of Formula 2A wherein R⁸ is methyl, R⁶ is H, R⁷ is an amine protecting group, t is 0 to 4, and R⁹ is as defined herein. The ester 32, wherein R′″ is alkyl and t is 0-4, can be treated with a suitable base such as KOtBu at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to reflux) to form the anion, followed by addition of an acrylate unit (e.g., t-butylacrylate) at a temperature ranging from −78° C. to room temperature to give the homologated ester 41. Saponification of the t-butyl ester of compound 41 by treatment with a suitable acid such as TFA or HCl at an appropriate temperature (e.g, 0° C. to reflux) provides compound 42. A Curtius rearrangement of compound 42 using, for example, DPPA in the presence of mild base such as NEt₃ at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to reflux), followed by treatment of the reactive intermediate with an appropriate alcohol (e.g. tBuOH), optionally in the presence of a Lewis acid (e.g. SnCl₂) at elevated temperatures (e.g. 40-200° C.) provides compound 43. The choice of alcohol determines the amine protecting group of compound 43 (e.g., tBuOH provides the Boc-amine). Deprotection of the ester of compound 43 under standard conditions (e.g., LiOH for a methyl ester, hydrogenation for a benzyl ester, etc.) gives the acid 44.

In one alternative to Scheme E, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compounds 43 and 44.

Scheme F shows a method of preparing optionally substituted β-phenylalanine amino acids 48, 49 and 50 of Formula 3A wherein R⁶ is H, R⁷ is an amine protecting group, t is 0 to 4, and R⁹ is as defined herein. An appropriately substituted aldehyde 45 can be treated with a cyanoacetate of the formula CN—CH₂CO₂R′″ wherein R′″ is alkyl (e.g., ethyl 2-cyanoacetate) in the presence of a suitable base such as piperidine at an appropriate temperature (e.g., room temperature to reflux) to give the unsaturated ester 46. Reduction of the olefin and the nitrile groups of compound 46 to provide compound 47 may be accomplished in a number of ways. For example, the olefin may be reduced with any agent known to effect 1,4-reductions, such as NaBH₄. The nitrile may be reduced using agents such as LiAlH₄ or NaBH₄ in the presence of a Lewis acid such as BF₃OEt₂ or TFA. A number of alternative reducing agents may be used, such as those listed in ‘Reductions in Organic Chemistry’ by Hudlicky, ACS monograph, 2^(nd) edition, Chapter 18. If desired, the primary amine 47 can be monoalkylated or bisalkylated at this stage using standard conditions (e.g., reductive amination using an appropriate aldehyde, Lewis acid and reducing agent) to provide intermediates (not shown) en route to compounds 48 and 49. To prepare primary and secondary amines, protection may be accomplished using any number of protecting groups (e.g. ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 7), for example as a Boc-group using Boc anhydride at 0° C. to room temperature. Cleavage of the ester group to form the amino acid 48, 49 or 50 may be accomplished using an aqueous bases such as LiOH or KOH, or any of the alternative reagents listed in the aforementioned ‘Protecting Groups’ text (e.g., hydrogenation for a benzyl ester).

In one alternative to Scheme F, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compounds 49 or 50.

Scheme G shows a method of preparing optionally substituted α-phenylalanine amino acids 54 of Formula 4A, wherein R⁶ is H, R⁷ is an amine protecting group, t is 0 to 4, and R⁹ is as defined herein. An appropriately substituted acid 51 may be reduced to the benzyl alcohol 52 using for example LiAlH₄ at a temperature ranging from room temperature to reflux. The alcohol group of compound 52 can be activated as a leaving group (e.g. halide, mesylate, etc.) using, for example, PBr₃, MsCl/NEt₃, etc. Displacement of this leaving group using a protected glycine derivative such as ethyl 2-(diphenylmethyleneamino)acetate in the presence of strong base such as LDA, nBuLi provides the amino ester intermediate 53 wherein R¹ is alkyl and Pg is a protecting group. Appropriate protecting groups are listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience). The amine protecting group may be changed at this stage, for example to introduce a Boc-group. Subsequent deprotection of the ester 53 (e.g., using 3N HCl, LiOH, hydrogenation for a benzyl ester, etc.) at an appropriate temperature (e.g., 0° C. to reflux) provides the desired N-protected amino acid 54.

In one alternative to Scheme G, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compound 54 after the deprotection of compound 53.

Scheme H shows a method of preparing optionally substituted γ-phenylglycine amino acids 56 of Formula 2A wherein R⁶ and R⁸ together with the atoms to which they are attached form a spirocyclic heterocyclic ring, R⁷ is an amine protecting group, t is 0 to 4, and R⁹ is as defined herein. According to Scheme H, the unsaturated ester 24 can be treated with a suitably protected glycine derivative (e.g., benzylglycine) and formaldehyde under dry conditions (e.g., with addition of molecular sieves) at an appropriate temperature (e.g., room temperature to reflux) to generate compound 55. Cleavage of the benzyl group using standard conditions (e.g., via hydrogenation, 1-chloroethylformate, etc.) followed by addition of an amine protecting group such as a Boc-group and cleavage of the ester under standard conditions (e.g. LiOH for a methyl ester, acid for a t-butyl ester, etc., at 0° C. to reflux) provides the N-protected amino acid 56.

In one alternative to Scheme H, Pg may be substituted with R⁷ in compound 56.

Scheme I shows a method of preparing optionally substituted β-phenylalanine amino acids 61 and 62 of Formula 3A wherein R⁶ and R^(b) together with the atoms to which they are attached form a heterocyclic ring, and R⁷ and R⁹ are as defined herein and t is 0 to 4. The acid 57 is converted to an ester 58 using standard conditions such as treatment with an appropriate alcohol (e.g., MeOH) in the presence of either catalytic acid (e.g. concentrated H₂SO₄ or TMSCl) or a coupling agent (e.g. DCC/DMAP); or alternatively by treatment with an appropriate electrophile (e.g. MeI, EtBr, BnBr) in the presence of a suitable base such as NEt₃/DMAP at appropriate temperatures (e.g., −20° C. to 100° C.). The appropriate choice of ester is determined by the conditions required to reform the acid at the end of the synthesis, such as described in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 5. Cyclization of compound 58 to provide compound 59 may be achieved using, for example, N-(methoxymethyl)(phenyl)-N-((trimethylsilyl)methyl)methanamine in the presence of TFA. This particular set of reagents generates the benzylamine, which can be cleaved to provide compound 60 under standard conditions such as such as hydrogenation at −20° C. to 50° C. or any other standard conditions such as those listed in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Greene and Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, third edition, Chapter 7. Protection of the free amine of compound 60 with an alternative protecting group (e.g., Boc) using reagents listed in the aforementioned text, such as Boc-anhydride, followed by cleavage of the ester using standard conditions appropriate for the ester (e.g. aqueous LiOH for methyl esters, hydrogenation for benzyl esters, acid for t-butyl esters) provides the acid compound 61. Alternatively, the free amine can be functionalized further (e.g. using alkylation, reductive amination, or acylation conditions), followed by ester cleavage to generate the tertiary amino acid compound 62.

Either enantiomer of the b-amino acids may be prepared using a procedure such as that shown in Scheme J. A 2-phenylacetate coupled with an appropriate chiral auxiliary (R*) (for example, an Evans' auxiliary or a Sultam) with the appropriate stereochemistry to generate the desired chemistry at the b-position of the amino acid may be treated with an imine or iminium ion synthon (e.g. prepared in situ by the presence of a Lewis acid (eg. TiCl₄) and an appropriately substituted alkoxymethanamine or N-(alkoxymethyl)amide/carbamate at −100° C. to 50° C.). The asymmetric addition may require the presence of Lewis acids (eg. TiCl₄), amine bases (eg. Hunig's base) and lower temperatures (e.g. −100° C. to 0° C.) to generate the best levels of stereochemical induction. If the de is lower than required, the separate diastereomers may be separated at this stage by (for example) chromatography or crystallization. Cleavage of the chiral auxiliary, using methods known to cleave the chosen auxiliary (e.g. LiOH/H₂O₂ at −50° C. to 50° C. for the Evans auxiliary) then leads to the desired N-protected b-amino acid with the desired stereochemistry at the b-position. Additionally, if R⁶ is also a protecting group (e.g. 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl), it may be removed in the presence of the Boc-group (e.g. hydrogenation or DDQ, etc.) to give the Boc-amino acid, which upon removal of the Boc-group would provide the primary amine, which may be further functionalized by alkylation, acylation or reductive amination (either prior to or after coupling with the pyrimidine-piperazine unit).

In preparing compounds of Formula I, protection of remote functionalities (e.g., primary or secondary amines, etc.) of intermediates may be necessary. The need for such protection will vary depending on the nature of the remote functionality and the conditions of the preparation methods. Suitable amino-protecting groups (NH-Pg) include acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), benzyloxycarbonyl (CBz) and 9-fluorenylmethyleneoxycarbonyl (Fmoc). The need for such protection is readily determined by one skilled in the art. For a general description of protecting groups and their use, see T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.

Methods of Separation

In any of the synthetic methods for preparing compounds of Formula I, it may be advantageous to separate reaction products from one another and/or from starting materials. The desired products of each step or series of steps is separated and/or purified to the desired degree of homogeneity by the techniques common in the art. Typically such separations involve multiphase extraction, crystallization from a solvent or solvent mixture, distillation, sublimation, or chromatography. Chromatography can involve any number of methods including, for example: reverse-phase and normal phase; size exclusion; ion exchange; high, medium and low pressure liquid chromatography methods and apparatus; small scale analytical; simulated moving bed (SMB) and preparative thin or thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale thin layer and flash chromatography.

Another class of separation methods involves treatment of a reaction mixture with a reagent selected to bind to or render otherwise separable a desired product, unreacted starting material, reaction by product, or the like. Such reagents include adsorbents or absorbents such as activated carbon, molecular sieves, ion exchange media, or the like. Alternatively, the reagents can be acids in the case of a basic material, bases in the case of an acidic material, binding reagents such as antibodies, binding proteins, selective chelators such as crown ethers, liquid/liquid ion extraction reagents (LIX), or the like.

Selection of appropriate methods of separation depends on the nature of the materials involved. For example, boiling point and molecular weight in distillation and sublimation, presence or absence of polar functional groups in chromatography, stability of materials in acidic and basic media in multiphase extraction, and the like. One skilled in the art will apply techniques most likely to achieve the desired separation.

Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Also, some of the compounds of the present invention may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of this invention. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.

A single stereoisomer, e.g., an enantiomer, substantially free of its stereoisomer may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers using optically active resolving agents (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds,” John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994; Lochmuller, C. H., J. Chromatogr., (1975) 113(3):283-302). Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds of the invention can be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the diastereomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3) separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers directly under chiral conditions. See: “Drug Stereochemistry, Analytical Methods and Pharmacology,” Irving W. Wainer, Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York (1993).

Under method (1), diastereomeric salts can be formed by reaction of enantiomerically pure chiral bases such as brucine, quinine, ephedrine, strychnine, α-methyl-β-phenylethylamine(amphetamine), and the like with asymmetric compounds bearing acidic functionality, such as carboxylic acid and sulfonic acid. The diastereomeric salts may be induced to separate by fractional crystallization or ionic chromatography. For separation of the optical isomers of amino compounds, addition of chiral carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as camphorsulfonic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, or lactic acid can result in formation of the diastereomeric salts.

Alternatively, by method (2), the substrate to be resolved is reacted with one enantiomer of a chiral compound to form a diastereomeric pair (E. and Wilen, S. “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994, p. 322). Diastereomeric compounds can be formed by reacting asymmetric compounds with enantiomerically pure chiral derivatizing reagents, such as menthyl derivatives, followed by separation of the diastereomers and hydrolysis to yield the pure or enriched enantiomer. A method of determining optical purity involves making chiral esters, such as a menthyl ester, e.g., (−)menthyl chloroformate in the presence of base, or Mosher ester, α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl acetate (Jacob III. J. Org. Chem., (1982) 47:4165), of the racemic mixture, and analyzing the ¹H NMR spectrum for the presence of the two atropisomeric enantiomers or diastereomers. Stable diastereomers of atropisomeric compounds can be separated and isolated by normal- and reverse-phase chromatography following methods for separation of atropisomeric naphthyl-isoquinolines (WO 96/15111). By method (3), a racemic mixture of two enantiomers can be separated by chromatography using a chiral stationary phase (“Chiral Liquid Chromatography” (1989) W. J. Lough, Ed., Chapman and Hall, New York; Okamoto, J. of Chromatogr., (1990) 513:375-378). Enriched or purified enantiomers can be distinguished by methods used to distinguish other chiral molecules with asymmetric carbon atoms, such as optical rotation and circular dichroism.

Methods of Treatment with Compounds of Formula I

The compounds of the present invention can be used as prophylactics or therapeutic agents for treating diseases or disorders mediated by modulation or regulation of AKT protein kinases, tyrosine kinases, additional serine/threonine kinases, and/or dual specificity kinases. AKT protein kinase mediated conditions that can be treated according to the methods of this invention include, but are not limited to, inflammatory, hyperproliferative cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, gynecological, and dermatological diseases and disorders.

Accordingly, another aspect of this invention provides a method of treating diseases or medical conditions in a mammal mediated by AKT protein kinases, comprising administering to said mammal one or more compounds of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof in an amount effective to treat or prevent said disorder.

The phrase “effective amount” means an amount of compound that, when administered to a mammal in need of such treatment, is sufficient to (i) treat or prevent a particular disease, condition, or disorder mediated by the activity of one or more AKT protein kinases, tyrosine kinases, additional serine/threonine kinases, and/or dual specificity kinases, (ii) attenuate, ameliorate, or eliminate one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) prevent or delay the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. In the case of cancer, an effective amount of the drug may reduce the number of cancer cells; reduce the tumor size; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibit, to some extent, tumor growth; and/or relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. To the extent the drug may prevent growth and/or kill existing cancer cells, it may be cytostatic and/or cytotoxic. For cancer therapy, efficacy can be measured, for example, by assessing the time to disease progression (TTP) and/or determining the response rate (RR).

The amount of a compound of Formula I that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the mammal in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art.

“Treating” is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease condition in a mammal, such as a human, that is affected, at least in part, by the activity of one or more AKT protein kinases, tyrosine kinases, additional serine/threonine kinases, and/or dual specificity kinases. The terms “treat” and “treatment” refer to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological change or disorder. For purposes of this invention, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Those in need of treatment include those already with the condition or disorder as well as those found to be predisposed to having the disease condition but have not yet been diagnosed as having it; modulating and/or inhibiting the disease condition. The terms “treating”, “treat”, or “treatment” embrace both preventative, i.e., prophylactic, and palliative treatment.

As used herein, the term “mammal” refers to a warm-blooded animal that has or is at risk of developing a disease described herein and includes, but is not limited to, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, rats, mice, hamsters, and primates, including humans.

This invention also provides compounds of Formula I for use in the treatment of AKT protein kinase-mediated conditions.

An additional aspect of the invention is the use of a compound of Formula I in the preparation of a medicament for therapy, such as for the treatment or prevention of AKT protein kinase-mediated conditions.

Combination Therapy

The compounds of the present invention can be used in combination with one or more additional drugs such as described below. The dose of the second drug can be appropriately selected based on a clinically employed dose. The proportion of the compound of the present invention and the second drug can be appropriately determined according to the administration subject, the administration route, the target disease, the clinical condition, the combination, and other factors. In cases where the administration subject is a human, for instance, the second drug may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 100 parts by weight per part by weight of the compound of the present invention.

The second compound of the pharmaceutical combination formulation or dosing regimen preferably has complementary activities to the compound of this invention such that they do not adversely affect each other. Such drugs are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention provides a composition comprising a compound of this invention in combination with a second drug, such as described herein.

A compound of this invention and the additional pharmaceutically active drug(s) may be administered together in a unitary pharmaceutical composition or separately and, when administered separately this may occur simultaneously or sequentially in any order. Such sequential administration may be close in time or remote in time. The amounts of the compound of this invention and the second drug(s) and the relative timings of administration will be selected in order to achieve the desired combined therapeutic effect.

The combination therapy may provide “synergy” and prove “synergistic”, i.e., the effect achieved when the active ingredients used together is greater than the sum of the effects that results from using the compounds separately. A synergistic effect may be attained when the active ingredients are: (1) co-formulated and administered or delivered simultaneously in a combined, unit dosage formulation; (2) delivered by alternation or in parallel as separate formulations; or (3) by some other regimen. When delivered in alternation therapy, a synergistic effect may be attained when the compounds are administered or delivered sequentially, e.g., by different injections in separate syringes. In general, during alternation therapy, an effective dosage of each active ingredient is administered sequentially, i.e., serially, whereas in combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more active ingredients are administered together.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are formulated, dosed and administered in a fashion, i.e., amounts, concentrations, schedules, course, vehicles and route of administration, consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The therapeutically effective amount of the compound to be administered will be governed by such considerations, and is the minimum amount necessary to prevent, ameliorate, or treat the disorder. The compound of the present invention is typically formulated into pharmaceutical dosage forms to provide an easily controllable dosage of the drug and to enable patient compliance with the prescribed regimen.

The composition for use herein is preferably sterile. In particular, formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. Such sterilization is readily accomplished, for example, by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. The compound ordinarily can be stored as a solid composition, a lyophilized formulation or as an aqueous solution.

Pharmaceutical formulations of the compounds of the present invention may be prepared for various routes and types of administration. For example, a compound of this invention having the desired degree of purity may optionally be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, carriers, excipients or stabilizers (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (1980) 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed.), in the form of a lyophilized formulation, a milled powder, or an aqueous solution. Formulation may be conducted by mixing at ambient temperature at the appropriate pH, and at the desired degree of purity, with physiologically acceptable carriers, i.e., carriers that are non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed. The pH of the formulation depends mainly on the particular use and the concentration of compound, but may range from about 3 to about 8. Formulation in an acetate buffer at pH 5 is a suitable embodiment. The formulations may be prepared using conventional dissolution and mixing procedures. For example, the bulk drug substance (i.e., compound of the present invention or stabilized form of the compound (e.g., complex with a cyclodextrin derivative or other known complexation agent) is dissolved in a suitable solvent in the presence of one or more excipients.

The particular carrier, diluent or excipient used will depend upon the means and purpose for which the compound of the present invention is being applied. Solvents are generally selected based on solvents recognized by persons skilled in the art as safe (GRAS) to be administered to a mammal. In general, safe solvents are non-toxic aqueous solvents such as water and other non-toxic solvents that are soluble or miscible in water. Suitable aqueous solvents include water, ethanol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols (e.g., PEG 400, PEG 300), etc. and mixtures thereof. Acceptable diluents, carriers, excipients and stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g., Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as TWEEN™, PLURONICS™ or polyethylene glycol (PEG). The formulations may also include one or more stabilizing agents, surfactants, wetting agents, lubricating agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opaquing agents, glidants, processing aids, colorants, sweeteners, perfuming agents, flavoring agents and other known additives to provide an elegant presentation of the drug (i.e., a compound of the present invention or pharmaceutical composition thereof) or aid in the manufacturing of the pharmaceutical product (i.e., medicament). The active pharmaceutical ingredients may also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacrylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980). A “liposome” is a small vesicle composed of various types of lipids, phospholipids and/or surfactant which is useful for delivery of a drug (such as a compound of Formula I and, optionally, an additional therapeutic agent) to a mammal. The components of the liposome are commonly arranged in a bilayer formation, similar to the lipid arrangement of biological membranes.

Sustained-release preparations of compounds of this invention may be prepared. Suitable examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing a compound of Formula I, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinylalcohol)), polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and gamma-ethyl-L-glutamate, non-degradable ethylene-vinyl acetate, degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOT™ (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate) and poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid.

This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol or prepared as a lyophilized powder. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile fixed oils may conventionally be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid may likewise be used in the preparation of injectables.

Formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents.

Aqueous suspensions generally contain the active ingredient in finely powdered form together with one or more suspending agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents such as lecithin or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids (for example polyoxethylene stearate), or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives (such as ethyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, anti-oxidants (such as ascorbic acid), coloring agents, flavoring agents, and/or sweetening agents (such as sucrose, saccharine or aspartame).

Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil (such as arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil) or in a mineral oil (such as liquid paraffin). The oily suspensions may also contain a thickening agent such as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set out above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.

Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water generally contain the active ingredient together with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients such as sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, such as olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, such as for example liquid paraffin or a mixture of any of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be, for example, naturally-occurring gums such as gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides such as soya bean, lecithin, esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides (for example sorbitan monooleate) and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening, flavoring and preservative agents.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, aspartame or sucrose, and may also contain a demulcent, preservative, flavoring and/or coloring agent.

Suppository formulations may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Suitable excipients include, for example, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols. Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

Topical formulations, such as creams, ointments, gels and aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions, may generally be obtained by formulating an active ingredient with a conventional, topically acceptable, vehicle or diluent using conventional procedures well known in the art.

Compositions for transdermal administration may be in the form of those transdermal skin patches that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Formulations suitable for intrapulmonary or nasal administration have a particle size for example in the range of 0.1 to 500 microns (including particle sizes in a range between 0.1 and 500 microns in increments microns such as 0.5, 1, 30 microns, 35 microns, etc.), which is administered by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage or by inhalation through the mouth so as to reach the alveolar sacs. Suitable formulations include aqueous or oily solutions of the active ingredient. Formulations suitable for aerosol or dry powder administration may be prepared according to conventional methods and may be delivered with other therapeutic agents such as compounds heretofore used in the treatment or prophylaxis disorders as described below.

The pharmaceutical composition (or formulation) for application may be packaged in a variety of ways depending upon the method used for administering the drug. For example, an article for distribution can include a container having deposited therein the pharmaceutical formulation in an appropriate form. Suitable containers are well known to those skilled in the art and include materials such as bottles (plastic and glass), sachets, ampoules, plastic bags, metal cylinders, and the like. The container may also include a tamper-proof assemblage to prevent indiscreet access to the contents of the package. In addition, the container has deposited thereon a label that describes the contents of the container. The label may also include appropriate warnings. The formulations may also be packaged in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water, for injection immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions are prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or unit daily sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.

The invention further provides veterinary compositions comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together with a veterinary carrier therefore. Veterinary carriers are materials useful for the purpose of administering the composition and may be solid, liquid or gaseous materials which are otherwise inert or acceptable in the veterinary art and are compatible with the active ingredient. These veterinary compositions may be administered parenterally, orally or by any other desired route.

The amount of a compound of this invention that is combined with one or more excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the subject treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. In one embodiment, a suitable amount of a compound of this invention is administered to a mammal in need thereof. Administration in one embodiment occurs in an amount between about 0.001 mg/kg of body weight to about 60 mg/kg of body weight per day. In another embodiment, administration occurs in an amount between 0.5 mg/kg of body weight to about 40 mg/kg of body weight per day. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effect, provided that such larger doses are first divided into several small doses for administration throughout the day. For further information on routes of administration and dosage regimes, see Chapter 25.3 in Volume 5 of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry (Corwin Hansch; Chairman of Editorial Board), Pergamon Press 1990, which is specifically incorporated herein by reference.

In certain embodiments, the kits are suitable for the delivery of solid oral forms of a compound of this invention, such as tablets or capsules. Such a kit preferably includes a number of unit dosages. Such kits can include a card having the dosages oriented in the order of their intended use. An example of such a kit is a “blister pack”. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are widely used for packaging pharmaceutical unit dosage forms. If desired, a memory aid can be provided, for example in the form of numbers, letters, or other markings or with a calendar insert, designating the days in the treatment schedule in which the dosages can be administered.

In certain embodiments, said first and second pharmaceutical compositions are contained in separate containers. In other embodiments, said first and second pharmaceutical compositions are contained in the same container.

Although the compounds of Formula I are primarily of value as therapeutic agents for use in mammals, they are also useful whenever it is required to control AKT protein kinases, tyrosine kinases, additional serine/threonine kinases, and/or dual specificity kinases. Thus, they are useful as pharmacological standards for use in the development of new biological tests and in the search for new pharmacological agents.

The activity of the compounds of this invention may be assayed for AKT protein kinases, tyrosine kinases, additional serine/threonine kinases, and/or dual specificity kinases in vitro, in vivo, or in a cell line. In vitro assays include assays that determine inhibition of the kinase activity. Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to kinases and may be measured either by radiolabelling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/kinase complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound, or by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with known radioligands. These and other useful in vitro and cell culture assays are well known to those of skill in the art.

Although the invention has been described and illustrated with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example, and that numerous changes in the combination and arrangement of parts can be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as hereinafter claimed.

Biological Examples AKT-1 Kinase Assay

The activity of the compounds described in the present invention may be determined by the following kinase assay, which measures the phosphorylation of a fluorescently-labeled peptide by full-length human recombinant active AKT-1 by fluorescent polarization using a commercially available IMAP kit.

The assay materials are obtained from an IMAP AKT Assay Bulk Kit, product #R8059, from Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif. The kit materials include an IMAP Reaction Buffer (5×). The diluted 1×IMAP Reaction Buffer contained 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.2, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% NaN₃. DTT is routinely added to a final concentration of 1 mM immediately prior to use. Also included is IMAP Binding Buffer (5×), and IMAP Binding Reagent. The Binding Solution is prepared as a 1:400 dilution of IMAP Binding Reagent into 1×IMAP Binding Buffer.

The fluorescein-labeled AKT Substrate (Crosstide) has the sequence (Fl)-GRPRTSSFAEG. A stock solution of 20 μM is made up in 1×IMAP Reaction Buffer.

The plates used include a Costar 3657 (382-well made of polypropylene and having a white, v-bottom) that is used for compound dilution and for preparing the compound-ATP mixture. The assay plate is a Packard ProxyPlate™-384 F.

The AKT-1 used is made from full-length, human recombinant AKT-1 that is activated with PDK1 and MAP kinase 2.

To perform the assay, stock solutions of compounds at 10 mM in DMSO are prepared. The stock solutions and the control compound are serially diluted 1:2 nine times into DMSO (10 μL of compound+10 μL of DMSO) to give 50× dilution series over the desired dosing range. Next, 2.1-μL aliquots of the compounds in DMSO are transferred to a Costar 3657 plate containing 50 μL of 10.4 μM ATP in 1×IMAP Reaction Buffer containing 1 mM DTT. After thorough mixing, 2.5-4, aliquots are transferred to a ProxyPlate™-384 F plate.

The assay is initiated by the addition of 2.5-μL aliquots of a solution containing 200 nM of fluorescently-labeled peptide substrate and 4 nM AKT-1. The plate is centrifuged for 1 minute at 1000 g and incubated for 60 minute at ambient temperature. The reaction is then quenched by the addition of 15 μL of Binding Solution, centrifuged again and incubated for an additional 30 minutes at ambient temperature prior to reading on a Victor 1420 Multilabel HTS Counter configured to measure fluorescence polarization.

The compounds of Examples 1-324 were tested in the above assay and found to have an IC₅₀ of less than <10 μM.

Step 1:

Ethyl pulegenate (130 g, 662 mmol) in EtOAc (900 mL) was cooled to −78° C. using a dry ice-isopropanol bath. This mixture was subjected to ozonolysis until the reaction turned purple in color. At this point, ozone generation ceased, and the reaction was removed from the dry-ice bath. Oxygen was bubbled through the reaction mixture until it turned yellow. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the resulting residue was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (400 mL). The solution was cooled to 0° C., and Zn dust (65 g, 993 mmol) was added portionwise over 30 minutes. The reaction was then allowed to stir for 2 hours, at which point the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite to remove the zinc dust. The acetic acid was neutralized to pH 7 with aqueous NaOH and NaHCO₃ and extracted with ether (3×800 mL). The combined organics were dried with brine, MgSO₄ and concentrated to give (2R)-ethyl 2-methyl-5-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate as a brown liquid (107 g, 95%).

The reaction mixture was cooled, and transferred to a 2 L single neck flask. Then excess formamidine was removed by high vacuum distillation. Once formamidine stopped coming over, the remaining oil in the still pot was dissolved in DCM and washed with brine (3×200 mL). The combined aqueous washes were extracted with DCM. The combined organic extracts were dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and concentrated. The resulting brown oil was dissolved in minimal DCM, and this solution was added using a separatory funnel to a stirred solution of ether (ca. 5 vol of ether vs. DCM solution), causing some brown precipitate to form. This brown precipitate was removed by filtration through a medium frit funnel which was rinsed with ether and disposed. The filtrate was concentrated, the trituration from ether repeated two more times and then dried on high vacuum line to give (R)-5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-ol (93.225 g, 65.00% yield) as a brown-yellow pasty solid.

After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, then heated to reflux and stirred for 70 minutes. The reaction was complete as determined by HPLC. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the excess POCl₃ was quenched in 4 portions as follows: Reaction mixture transferred to separatory funnel and dripped into a beaker containing ice and saturated NaHCO₃ solution cooled in an ice bath. Once the addition of each portion of the reaction mixture was completed, the quenched mixture was stirred 30 minutes to ensure complete destruction of POCl₃ prior to transfer to separatory funnel. The mixture was transferred to the separatory funnel and extracted twice with DCM. The combined extracts were dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and concentrated. The crude was purified on silica gel as follows: silica gel (1 kg) was slurried in 9:1 hexane:ethyl acetate onto a 3 L fritted funnel, silica settled under vacuum, topped with sand. The crude was loaded with a DCM/hexane mixture, and the compound was eluted using 1 L sidearm flasks under vacuum.

4.0M hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane (2.508 mL) was added to a solution of tert-butyl (S)-2-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(4-((5R,7R)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-5-methyl-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-oxopropylisopropylcarbamate (283 mg, 0.502 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2.5 mL) and methylene chloride (2.5 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then dissolved in a minimum volume of DCM (1 mL) and added dropwise to ether (10 mL) at 0° C. with stirring. A white solid precipitated. The solvents were evaporated with a rotovap in a 25° C. bath. The off-white solid was dried under high vacuum overnight to give (S)-2-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-1-(4-((5R,7R)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-5-methyl-5H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-3-(isopropylamino)propan-1-one dihydrochloride (537 mg, 99.9%).
